Has anyone else found to be a missing feature? I wonder if it would be easy to add to notmuch's Emacs MUA. Background: In Gnus' equivalent to notmuch.el's tree mode it is possible to "mark" multiple messages at once in a manner similar to dired for directory contents. Gnus has a number of different operations that can be performed on messaged so marked. One is reply. When replying to multiple messages at once, the In-Reply-To: header is set appropriately, and the quoted contents of each is right there in the message buffer. I used to use this feature of Gnus frequently, especially in busy threads. I often find multiple messages that need replying to, but that replying in one message tends to be more effective than scattered replies to multiple messages. Problem is, I can't think of an unobtrusive way to add this to notmuch without adding a lot of machinery.
